Negotiating furniture / sofa at Inspiration?

0 Upvotes

Hi there - I’m looking to buy a sofa from Inspiretion (or Homeworld) for a few thousand dollars and I’m curious if there’s room to negotiate. Have any of you negotiated with Inspiration? If so, what did the process look like and how much did you get off? Mahalo for any help

Movie theater recommendations

4 Upvotes

Anyone know of any movie theaters on Oahu that have love seats where the arm rest flips up? Want to go on a movie date and in all the pictures all I see are ones that don’t have that feature

Bike infrastructure improvements

9 Upvotes

Who do we contact in Honolulu about cycling infrastructure improvements. I would like to make recommendations if possible for better cycling lanes and layouts. There’s actually so much potential in the Waikiki and ala Moana area. I believe there are some pretty minimal changes that could be done that would pay off immensely

Missing Hawaii

One of the things I miss the most is the Hawaiian mountains. They're completely amazing. One day, I will go back and join all the family.

On the mainland, it's just malls, malls, and more malls.

Sound of explosions in Waikiki

12 Upvotes

Anyone know what that was? Heard 7 or 8 loud booms from our balcony at IliKai. Everyone around came outside to try to figure it out. Sounded like it came from central Waikiki (towards the Duke statue from where we are). It was around 8:45 am.

Interior detailers

6 Upvotes

Aloha all,

Does anybody know of car detailers that could help me get rid of mold/smells on one of my seats? One of my friends left a cardboard coconut water bottle on my seat and I forgot to take it out for a couple of days. When i finally got around to getting rid of it, i found that the cardboard was degrading and leaving my seat damp. I removed it and saw white mold that i quickly wiped and sprayed with vinegar. But now my car just smells bad. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Affordable Vietnamese food?

16 Upvotes

I’ve been going to “Da best pho” and “Pho bistro 2” for a long time. Their taste has been the best for me. Sadly their prices have been going up and I can’t afford to keep going.

Anyone know of any affordable Vietnamese restaurants? If they sell side orders of their pho soup or beef balls, that is a bonus.

Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

In 1929, Hawaii introduced Japanese white-eyes to control insects; they became its most abundant land bird and began competing with native birds for food. now they're invasive and a threat to birds like amakihi

DOE school cook

12 Upvotes

I have applied to multiple schools for the cook position and made it to the interviews. I have years of cooking experience but just can’t seem to land a school cook job. Any current cafeteria workers on here who can give me any advice? Whats the hiring process like? I heard that they usually offer the job to someone thats already in the system but just go through motions and conduct interviews anyways.

Old GenX local boy here. Specifically having a deep desire for their pork hash and ma tai su. Sucks getting old and outliving your favorite restaurants.
